Travel

We just got home from a family vacation in Hawaii. This isn’t really a photo of our luggage* – but this is the way it feels to travel with us. There are six adults and two children under three. Each person has at least one large bag and a small bag that gets checked, plus at least two sets of golf bags. So that’s at least 18 bags. We can’t all go to the airport together, even in the airport shuttle, because we have too many bags. When we get to our destination, it takes three or four cabs to get us to the hotel. But once we get to our destination, boy do we have fun.

*It is a photo of one of three “sculptures” in the Sacramento airport (probably constructed from lost luggage…come to think of it, maybe some of our luggage is in there after all).

2009 Blogs

I’m starting fresh with a whole new slate for this year – including a new URL so put me in your favorites to find me again. To see my old blogs go to: nobodycareswhatthisoldgeezerthinks

Note regarding 2009 Blogs:When deciding on my favorite quotes for the year I decided to choose “Deep Thoughts.”(below) Yes, this says a lot about me - I do have a strange sense of humor. Last year I talked about how tacky I am(see Tacky Party) and I thought I’d share some more of that tackiness with you.So, In keeping with that theme, I decided to intersperse some tacky humor amid my brilliant take on life this year. Enjoy!
